One for the Crew

lyrics

We don’t want to argue and we don’t want to fight
Just wanna drink our whiskey and flirt with the girls all night
We’ll ship out in the morning but until we do
Come pull up a chair me friend, we’ll pour a shot for you.
High-O! We’ll drink one to the barmaids
High-O! One for the barkeep, too
High-O! We’ll drink one to our fair ship
High-O! And one for the gallant crew
We don’t want a grog now and we don’t want a rum
We can get that on the ship when the all work is done
There is only one choice while we’re here in town
Have another shot of whiskey and a beer to chase her down!
[CHORUS]
We don’t want to leave here, no we don’t want to go
When the mate tells us to shove off we’ll tell him “Hell no!”
We’ll stay here ‘til the morning and go straight to the ship
Then we’ll all come straight back here when we’re through with our trip.
[CHORUS]
When my time has come boys and I must pass on
Don’t want a fancy service full of all the same sad songs
Just stick me in a whiskey barrel and plant me in the ground
But run a hose down to me, I’ll get thirsty lying ‘round.
[CHORUS] x 3
